Chapter 24 Thank Me for What ? For Kissing You ? Henry bent down . He didn't kiss Crystal right away . Instead , he cupped her face , letting his slightly coarse fingers graze against her tender cheeks . Then , he grasped her hair and caressed it with an appropriate strength . Suggestive moves like this were the most torturous . " Crystal never experienced any of this , so she couldn't help but whimper , " Henry ! " " You're not calling me Mr. Miller anymore ? " His trim nose was flush against hers as the two leaned into each other . Even their breaths were mingled together . Henry could kiss her anytime . Crystal gripped the fabric of his shirt as her heart thumped wildly . She wanted to close her eyes However , Henry didn't allow that . He tugged her long hair lightly and ordered in a low and hoarse voice , " Crystal , keep your eyes open for our kiss . " It was his first time calling her by her name . For some reason , Crystal was extremely enticed . She opened her eyes , her red lips trembling as they slowly pressed against his . Henry suddenly held her tightly . They were in the ward and they both were feeling things for each other . An originally light kiss was about to turn into something more . Henry was losing his control as he asked in a low voice , " Crystal , are you sure ? " Crystal had her wits about her for a short moment .. She instinctively wanted to push him away , but when she remembered how much of a clown she had been for sacrificing so much in her past relationship , she felt that there wasn't any point in keeping herself pure anymore . At that thought , Crystal offered her lips of her own accord . In her daze , she actually felt the exhilaration of exacting revenge . Henry ended the kiss . His pride didn't allow him to continue . He let go of Crystal and leaned to the side , smoothing out his wrinkled shirt . Then , he narrowed his eyes at her sensual expression and commented calmly , " Miss Winters , you're injured . You should slow down . " Crystal completely recovered her senses then , and she felt both awkward and ashamed . Henry didn't let the awkwardness reign for long . He took out a snow - white cigarette and played with it between his fingers , A moment later , he suddenly spoke up . " You must be wondering why I didn't stop Melora from getting 1/3 Chapter 24 Thank Me for What ? For Kissing You ? engaged with someone like Robert . " Crystal waited for Henry to continue . +25 Bonus He broke the cigarette in half and said , a little annoyed , " Six months ago , Melora attempted to end her life just to be with Robert .

I promise that I won't affect Miss Miller in any way . Treat this as my way of repaying you for your good deed ." Henry didn't say anything . Truth was , he was quite speechless . It was obviously an explanation , but Crystal had understood it another way . However , with Henry's personality , he refused to elaborate on it . He just gave her a meaningful look and muttered , " How did you get to be a teacher with brains like that ? No wonder you got duped by men . " With that , he left right away . Crystal was stunned for a while . She took her phone , intending to transfer some more spare money from her bank account , but she was stunned as soon as she saw her phone . Henry not only left her 2600 intact , he even transferred another 15,000 to her . As Crystal looked at Henry's name registered on her phone , an unspeakable feeling welled in her heart . Except for Melora between them , he actually treated her quite well despite his vicious tongue . She thought about it for a moment , then sent a WhatsApp message anyway . ' Thank you , Mr. Miller . ' Henry had just gotten into his car when he received the message from Crystal . He also noticed that she didn't accept the fund transfer . He thought for a moment , then sent her a few messages at once . ' Thank me for what ? For kissing you ? ' ' If it's about the 15,000 , you can play 10 rounds of golf with me if you feel bad about it . ' ' If that doesn't work , maybe you can come over to my place and we can read cases through the night ." Crystal received the messages . Her face was burning hot , for she wasn't so naive that she would take those words at face value . She never thought that Henry would be such a perverted man ! 2/3 Chapter 24 Thank Me for What ?
